Reimagining Columbus: Indigenous Design Principles

Columbus Center for Architecture and Design

Please join architect Tamarah Begay, founder of New Mexico-based Indigenous Design Studio and Architecture, for a discussion with design professionals about how Indigenous design tools can be incorporated in the creation of public art and commemorative spaces in Columbus.

Tamarah is the lead architect for Reimagining Columbus, a two-year, community–driven project led by the City of Columbus tasked with developing recommendations for the Christopher Columbus statue removed from City Hall in 2020. Reimagining Columbus, funded by a $2 million grant from the Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project, is convening central Ohio residents for conversations about how our shared history and values can be best reflected through public art, monuments and symbols.

Tamarah is a member of the Navajo Nation and has more than 10 years of experience working with Native American Tribes on public safety, judicial, education, housing projects; her recent work for the Navajo Nation has focused on feasibility studies and master planning. As a founding member of the American Indian Council of Architects and Engineers, Tamarah has long been committed to mentoring junior Native American office staff and students.

AICP and AIA CE credits pending.
